Daily Reflection Sit

Kindly and wisely, tend to your inner environment as though you were your guest

"Inside the chaos, build a temple of love”… Rune Lazuli Can you still build a welcoming “home” in the midst of chaos?

If the foundation is weak, the structure is vulnerable. Setting up the body for practice and tethering to the here and now.

How useful is it to be following the threads of the various energies in our outer world?

It’s the willingness to return to the present moment that becomes the most important moment.

We arrive to meditation in our own little universe. Noticing when we slide into our “self” view and shifting back into mindful posture

Learning how to not get pulled into the narrative that creates dis-ease.

No need to add aversion to the challenging moment; simply return to the present kindly.

We may not be able to be ‘a bride married to amazement’, but let’s remember the ordinary miracle of being here when returning to the breath.

Practicing ‘as if’ the breath were compelling.

Reflecting on your fundamental goodness.

Take an ordinary mundane task and do as you normally would, then try doing it from a posture of mindful caring attention. See the difference for yourself!
